Liver cancer is terrible, and because part of liver cancer has a family history, many people worry that liver cancer will be inherited? Will liver cancer be inherited? Now let's take a look.

Can liver cancer be inherited?

First, liver cancer is a polygenic genetic disease, its occurrence is the result of the combined effect of genetic factors and environmental factors. In other words, genetic factors are the basis, which determine the susceptibility of human body to tumor; Environmental factors are the inducement, which contribute to the occurrence of liver cancer.

Second: 90% of the causes of cancer are exogenous, and the proportion of heredity in the causes of cancer is very small. In addition to colon cancer evolved from multiple colorectal polyps and skin cancer evolved from xeroderma pigmentosum, other cancers are generally considered to have no clear relationship with genetic factors.

Third: strictly speaking, liver cancer is not hereditary, but has a certain tendency of family aggregation. For families with several people suffering from liver cancer at the same time or one after another, perhaps the common living conditions, such as exposure to certain carcinogenic factors, are much more important than genetic factors
